That's true, although the NFL doesn't decide willy-nilly on a game-by-game basis. Instead there is a formula in which the NFL eliminates tv competition for the "home" team yet remains fair to both Fox and CBS.
It happens here all the time, when I get no other game because the Saints are playing, even if on another network. This situation drove me to get Sunday Ticket.
